The person concerned applied for disability allowance on 27 July 2011. He failed on two occasions to respond to written requests for more information which was required in order for his application to be assessed. Accordingly, his claim was withdrawn on 6 February 2012 and he was notified in writing of this.

With regards to his potential social welfare entitlements, it is difficult to provide this information without full details of the person's circumstances. The person concerned may make an appointment with an information officer in his local Social Welfare Office who can outline any social welfare entitlement that he may have. Alternatively, comprehensive information on the range of schemes and supports my Department provides is available on our website www.welfare.ie.
